While I move, a delay in posts 13 Jan 2011 I am about to move to Sydney, although the Brisbane flooding has caused me no end of problems. This will mean I cannot post for a while; perhaps two weeks, although I doubt it. I should be able to comment a bit. Please bear with me and don’t start reading that PZ guy instead. He has enough readers. Administrative

About year ago my next of kind saw catastrophe film “2012” in Brisbane cinema , that probably is now under water. (It is quite expensive to trip to another side of globe to see such a prophetic film 😉 In Tuesday (11 Jan) he and me got quite irritated here.

Moved here from PZ, via SandWalk. Seems nice, though a little damp. Will stay awhile, least while my feet stay dry. A.
